| dc.description.abstract | This study examined the effect of Down syndrome on the academic performance of learners in Kitwe District. It identified conditions such as heart problems, low vision, hearing difficulties, poor muscle tone, and social interaction issues that negatively impacted their learning. The study found that these conditions led to difficulties like poor concentration, reading challenges, and problems with posture and social interactions. To address these issues, the study recommended tailored strategies, such as medical attention, use of large print materials, physiotherapy, and engaging teaching methods. It also suggested more resources and support for learners with Down syndrome in schools. | |
